It may have been asked before - so apologies already BUT although the original shock length is 190X50mm what would it seem Ok to put a 200x50mm on it? As far as I can work out it wil reduce the wheelbase ever so slightly when uncompressed but that's about it.

Thanks

i've looked at this and i dont think it would fit. on my 18" the swingarm runs pretty close to the seattube, i don't think there is an extra 10mm in there.

Why would you want to change it to something it not designed for ? not like you'd be getting more travel, steeper head angle thou

As Jambo says, There isn't the room between the seatpost and the rear of the swingarm shock mount area.

Less than 10mm for sure, i just measured my 2007 frame.
